Within an Art Deco building of the 1930s set on Hatton Garden, Dorrington PLC and the architects Piercy & Company created an exemplary office building.

Highlighting the classic building features whilst creating flawless levels of attention to detail on the finish- this one was bound for greatness.

For this project we were asked to name and create a brand for the building, as well as working on placemaking within thriving Farringdon.

Delving deep into the building’s heritage we discovered it was built on the site of a once thriving bookbinder. This research heavily influenced our chosen name; The Bindery. In fact, the eventual occupier (a world renowned publisher) was first intrigued by the space because of that name.

Our Film

Turn the sound on for this one. We always try to mix things up with an unusual soundtrack. It gives a moving piece a completely different kind of flavour.

Product design & signage

Our campaign needed to reflect the quality of the scheme from start to finish. From creating bespoke riso prints to show off the building’s style pre-completion, to designing the solid brass signage and winder handles for the crittle windows.
